| Abstract

Congratulations (Ar. tahānī , sing. tahniʾa ) can be conveyed formally as a literary subject in Arabic prose or poetry. According to Abū Hilāl al-ʿAskarī (d. after 395/1005), congratulation was not practised as an independent genre before Islam and whatever resembles it in early poetry is classified under panegyric ( madīḥ ; al-ʿAskarī, 1:91–2)). Early Islamic congratulatory formulas, attributed to the prophet Muḥammad and others, concerning various occasions such as weddings, conversion, pilgrimage, or the weaning of a child, have been preserved (e.g., Ibn Qutayba, 3:68–73).
